The Cowboy and the Queen

About This Movie

So, 'The Cowboy and the Queen' is this fascinating documentary that dives into the life of Monty Roberts, a horse trainer who’s almost 90 but still kicking strong. The film feels like a cozy chat, as he reflects on his early days on Hollywood sets in the 1940s, which gives it a neat nostalgia. What really stands out is how he critiques the traditional methods of horse training that often break a horse's spirit. Instead, he shares his gentle techniques, which is quite a contrast to the rough-and-tumble images of cowboys we usually see. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to really soak in his stories and the serene beauty of the horses. It’s an interesting blend of personal history and philosophy, making you think about the deeper connections we can have with animals.
